Kate's Well

St. Catherine's Well or Kate's Well is a historical natural spring well of significant interest and sits on holy ground,[1] at the foot of Kirk O' Shott's Parish Church,[2] otherwise known as (Shottskirk)[3] in the village of Salsburgh,[4] North Lanarkshire.

With cunning patience he ambushed Bertram de Shotts, immobilising him by slicing both his hamstrings as he lay down to drink at Kate's Well.

The well itself received a much needed boost through a grant organized thanks to the local Community Council group in the early 2000s, which allowed its extensive renovation.

I remember Emma’s car – or, as we lovingly called it, “Fix It Again Tony,” that old Fiat – making its way down the road, tires humming against the pavement as we pulled up to collect water from that well in our empty coke bottles.

We had a case full of CDs, each one carefully chosen, and a trusty old portable CD player with mini speakers taped to the dashboard.
